Can I mix a large quantity of this particular glaze and keep it in a plastic/glass jar? Also will I need to buy a sieve and scales or can I guess myself and stop adding water when it gets to a cream like consistency? I usually buy ready made glazes......

Yes you can easily add water and judge it as best you can, if you add to much water simply let it settle out and take off any excess, hope this helps.
